country who have reached th age of discre-
tion are feeble-minded creatures incapable of
resisting the wiles of ordinary libertines, as is
contended by misguided purists and reformers,
is a reproach to womanhood and a false, un-

intelligence.
No more philosophical oberv ation has been

Senator Hele'n Ring of Colorado in discuss-
ing a recent decision of the United States Su-
preme Court involving a violation of the Mann
white slave act, offered some sage advice
worthy of careful consideration. She expressed
the conviction that “we Americans should stop
muddling about in a mess of mush and sor-
ghum sentimentalities,” and discard "the illu-
sion that the woman is always the victim” in
cases similar to those denounced by the Mann
act. Of the case in point she said:
The case occasioning that remark bore
some points of resemblance to a celebrated
trial I once attended, where a woman of
30—with some 14 years’ experience in dis-
posing of herself at the highest market
value—was involved with a man of 68, re-
cently risen from frugal circumstances to
great wealth.
Out of the welter of wantonness dis-
closed by the trial one fact plainly
emerged. The man, not the woman, had
"been transported from State to State in
violation of the Mann white slave act."
The man, not the woman, was the victim.
Not an "innocent victim," to be sure. He
had been entangled because the bad in his
nature had gone out to meet the bad in
her; but he was none the less the real vic-
tim.
Yet the woman’s lawyer drew tears
from the eyes of soggy sentimentalists as
he tremoloed well worn and most inept
sayings about "betrayed and trusting
young girls,” and the jury nodded in sadly
sympathetic muddlement.
So the woman was set free: one of the
jurymen explaining to me afterward that
the verdict was rendered “in defense of
betrayed womanhood.”
There was an edge of masculine com-
placency about the remark, an echo from
the man-made centuries when woman was
looked upon as a defenseless chattel.
"W e haven’t much amusement.
Too full of toil ami care.
And when it comes to working
You'll have to do your share.'
When it comes to getting a maximum of
efficiency out of a minimum of instrumental-
ity, the “movie” hero who kills whole tribes
of Indians and troop of villians with a dainty
little gun incapable of shooting through two
inches of soft soap, is entitled to a niche in
the Hall of Fame.
A bank in San Marcos voluntarily went into
liquidation, issuing checks _to pay all deposi-
tors. It is evident that the concern is not like
the negro bank in Mississippi. A woman came
in and wanted her money, with the interest she
had been promised. The negro banker said:
"Dat's jest it. Sister 'Liza; de intrust done et

This is the season for whitewashing the

This thing of whitewashing trees to improve

knocks William Jennings Bryan: aside from
the fact that every knock may be a boost. Bet-

The Times-Herald is in error. The Ameri-
can has never criticised it for seeing so much
to admire in Mr. Bryan. Probably it will make
our meaning somewhat clearer to admit—
strictly fBr the purpose of argument—that Mr.
Bryan is all and more than the Times-Herald
says he is. Do those facts make it political
heresy to criticise his errors?

Get ready, people, to wear white socks and
stockings as a necessity rather than for style.
The supply of dyestuffs in the United States
may be exhausted in thirty days, and at pres- •
ent the war in Europe has shut off the im-
portation of pic needed colorings from Ger-
many. the market of the world. It may be
that black will go out of style by force alto-
gether. for that is the color affected more than
all others combined, which can easily be ac-
counted for by the popularity of black through- •
out the length and breadth of the land. This
may mean a scarcity of widows’ weeds, for
when black goods can not be imported and the
materials with which to produce them in this
country are not to be procured black must
go out of the American market.
This hail to be the view accepted by the
outsider who heard discussed at a meeting of
hosiery and underwe ar manufacturers and big *
importers of dyestuffs at the Manufacturers'
Club yesterday the question of what should
be done to have the shipments of the much-
wanted products that Germany controls re-
sumed The casual listener was carried along
to expect that not only must the dresses be of
white aud other hues than black in a short time
if the war embargo is not lifted, but that men
may be called upon to do without black suits
ami black hats and black ties. As other dyes
are to give out, though not so soon as the uni-
versal black, it may finally come that the men,
too, will have to wear white suits out of ne-
cessity. They may even have to carry white
umbrellas
But it is white stockings for the women and
white socks for the men without doubt within
a month or sdunless something is done by the
United States Government to make England
back down on its embargo on supplies and mu-
nitions of war. which embargo includes dyes A
from Germany and cotton and foodstuffs from "
this country The meeting recently was
called by C. B. Carter, secretary of the Na-
tional Association of Hosiery and Underwear
Manufacturers, and it was stated in letters sent ,
out that it was to be a special meeting of the
association's officers. board of directors and
advisory board along with representatives oi
allied interests.
Kentucky State news at the moment is
of a highly discreditable sort. We have
. teamed to put up with shooting and a mur-
' der trial here and there, at intervals,
apiced with a little possum hunter activity.
But such a coincidence of shootings, mur-
der trials and possum hunters as we are
having this week is apt to excite the most
• sluggish among us. Thus at W inchester
the case of a man who was shot down in
the night at the door of his home is up
for trial; at Bowling Green a trial brought
out testimony on the whipping of women
and children by possum hunters who
T-threatened to give the same treatment to
the offkcers of the court, and a miner is
t jailed at Norganfield, charged with mur-
I dering a merchant.

Congressional Redistricting.
[Denton News and Chronicle.]
Panhandle editors have seen a suitably en-
grossed resolution to Governor Ferguson ask-
ing him to submit the subject of congressional
redistricting to the special session. No section
of Texas has suffered such grave injustice by
the refusal of the Texas Legislature to redis-
trict as have our friends in the fast-growing
Panhandle, Mr. Stephens' present district, for
instance, includes enough population for at
least two Congressmen, and Mr. Smith's dis-
trict, further south in West Texas, practically
as many. There is no good reason why Texas
should not have been redistricted long ago, but
the fact seems to carry no weight when op-
posed by the personal selfishness of those Sen-
ators who want redistricting only if they are
permitted to carve out districts to suit, their
own ambitions, and who otherwise art content

bership as to successfully dominate, terrqrize
or defy the constituted authorities are most
fortunately things of the past.
span of life? That span has been enlarged by
modern civilization, and Mr. Root is a con-
spicuous example of that expansion. Old age
has not set its mark upon him in any way.
He is a young man at 70 and he is doing the
work that other young men who have passed
the seventieth milestone have done with en-
thusiasm of youth. The same question of age
was brought up against Uncle Joe Cannon
seven years ago, when some of his colleagues
suggested him for President. There was in
the public mind a fear that he was too old:
that he might not live through the term. But
Uncle Joe is still alive and has demonstrated
that he can come back at the age of 79. And
there are others. John Quincy Adams was
elected to the House of Representatives after
he retired from the presidency and served until
he died, at the age of 81. John Marshall de-
livered some of his greatest opinions when he
had passed the age of 75; Ben Franklin was
81 when he became a member of the conven-
tion which framed the Constitution of the
United States.
Other countries have had old men with the-
vigor and enthusiasm of youth. Gladstone
was three times prime minister of England
after he passed the age of 70, and Lord Rob-
erts was sent to South Africa to fight Oom
Paul Kruger after both had passed the sev-
entieth milestone. Lord Palmerton was prime
minister at the age of 81, and Disraeli at the
age of 76. Emperor W ilhelm I. Bismarck and
Von Moltke were all past 70 when they de-
feated Napocloa 111. and created the German
Empire. In France. M. Grery was elected
President of the Republic at the age of 72 and
re-elected a the age of 79. ( rispi was prime
minister of Italy at the age of 75 and Emperor
Franz Josef of Austria has passed his four-
score years.
In art, literature. science and philosophy
many men hate done their best work after
their seventieth birthday, and there is everv
reason to expect Mr Root to do some of his
most valuable work in the future by helping
to restore sanity and stability to government
machinery, which has been somewhat clogged
with the exaggerated idea of lawmaking in re-
sponse to hysterical demonstration and the de-
mand for something new Mr. Root has al-
ready begun this new work of conserving rep-
resentative government as the greatest gift of
the Anglo Saxon race to the liberty of the
Senator Elihu Root enjoys the rather unique
distinction of having a lot of younger men con-
sider him as an available candidate for Presi-
dent while he insists that he is too old for the
job. At the same time Mr. Root has taken
up the strenuous work of directing the conven-
tion which is to prepare a new or amended
Constitution for the State of New York, and
he is giving almost daily evidence of physical
and mental vigor, equaled by few of the
younger men in public life. To his 1 mental
alertness is added great experience in directing
government affairs, and helping to formulate
government policies which are successful. He 1
directed the W ar Department when we had
a war, and he handled our foreign relations
when there were serious questions to be dealt
with. His one term in the United States Sen-
ate was marked with activity and ability, and t
he voluntarily retired when he reached the 7
age of 70.
1 But why should either Mr. Root or the Re-
publican party or the voters generally, con-
sider that they are barred by the Psalmist's
That situation, be it understood, had
nothing to do with "white slavery” in the
true sense of that much-abused term.
There was no question of kidnaping lit-
tle girls, of entrapping innocent young
women for immoral purposes—a loathlv
industry, which still has its well defined
American centers, whatever tw addling “in-
vestigators" for smug “foundations" may
say to the contrary.

carefully to his client's statement, "you’ve got
about the best case I ever heard. My dear sir.
you can’t help winning it, whatever court you
take it to. I will be only too glad to assist
you in the matter.”
"Thanks!" said the prospective client.
"Thanks very much !” Then, grabbing his hat.
he made a speedy exit from the office.
“What!" exclaimed the astonished lawyer.
"Are you going?”
“Yes,” replied the other. "I’m iust going
to try to settle this case out of court.
“But. my dear sir. why waste money ' As
I've already told you, that’s one of the best

hastened down the stairs; "but not for me I
